Baskets carry a special symbolism in Rwanda: friends give them to one another to celebrate milestones (weddings, births, etc.), and they are proudly displayed as a reflection of abundance in friendships, family and life.

The WELCOME design symbolizes welcome customs. In Rwanda and Uganda, people meeting for the first time shake right hands and place their left hand under the opposing right forearm to show respect. Some people even kiss the air next to each cheek while shaking hands. Rwandans and Ugandans value hospitality and graciousness, as evident in their social customs. This basket is a wonderful addition to any home, welcoming all who visit.
